Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper evenly on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour BBQ sauce over the pork, cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Mix in additional BBQ sauce to taste.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Onions and Peppers

    Slice the onions and bell peppers into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers, and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Pulled Pork Sandwich

    Toast the buns if desired. Place a generous portion of shredded pulled pork on the bottom half of the bun. Top with grilled onions and peppers, and finish with slices of pepper-jack cheese. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
